The controls are a nightmare on this one. Avoid even if it's on sale.confused said:

Wat. They aren't bad at all if you use a button for doing special moves.

Is it just me that am really enjoying Magic Piano? The concept is silly, and being slapped in the face with 'offers' every few min, but the core game is pretty interesting.

It's just above barely usable on the iPad, but practically unplayable on the iPhone/Touch. Even with maximum button opacity.Dynamite Shikoku said:

I have no problems with fighters as long as there is a button for special moves. I quite like SF4V and KoF-i

Thanks, I think I'll get Rage then since it's cheap. It looks fun to play too, with the dodging and stuff, which perhaps make up for the lack of a lightgun in terms of this type of game. Though I doubt it's as replayable as genre classics. Are there others like it with good gyroscope controls?Reese-015 said:
Not sure outside of Gameloft games, perhaps you could find a few and try them out and report back for the rest of us? Or are you still milking that $6 of iTunes credit. 
Seriously, 9mm and MC3 have the best FPS gyro implementations by far, just get over the irrational developer-hate and join me on the dark side. Joooiiiin the daaaark siiiiidee!!!

That Gunship Zombie thing looks like it could use that option...
Galaxy on Fire II gyroscope (or the others tbh) controls aren't good at all, I tried the Lite.

I finally got to sit down this evening and play Starbase Orion. When you understand what's going on, it's pretty good! I've got the hang of what all the stuff does now so I'm building a little empire. 2 hours in and I've barely encountered the enemy yet, which makes me scared. I know they're only a system away though, eep! It seems great though and I've barely scratched the surface. I understand the love now.

King of a shame Epoch doesn't have such controls (or is it an option, the other dude said you just swipe and tap but maybe he chose that?).
I'm getting Z too since it's on sale.
Some combat flight sim is free discounted from 4.99 euros (?!). I guess I'll try that too. Marine Aviator. Edit: maybe not, looks kinda shit.

You can download ll the songs from the game + the trailer song (by the super talented wearethemassacre) right here:

And if you like his Bumpy Road song you should definitely check out his Portal song "into your heart", 'cause it's the best:

also... he made this super cute song for us for Kosmo Spin:

Not sure if the Time Crisis ones do it but I'm pretty sure there are no notable other entries on the App Store. That being said, I played the shit out of Rage! Does have quite some replay value if you're REALLY into that kind of stuff. The top difficulty modes are hard as nails.

Maybe I'll cave on MC3 when it goes on sale.
Hot Pursuit any good? I'm seeing the end of Real Racing 2 so maybe a more arcadey racer will be good to get. Or is something at the same current price much better?
I got Rage HD, Z, and Bumpy Road and have 4.41 euros left (seems I may have mixed up and had more than 6? Or it has yet to update properly).

I haven't been into a real time strategy game since Warhammer: Dark Omen on the PlayStation (so I guess similar era gameplay as this, lol), it's not my genre, I got it cos it's so cheap and people say it's good, but sure, I'll tell you what I think of it after I play it for a while.

Gettng Scribblenauts also. I'll wait for tommorow for my bank to update and see how much I have left and what to get I guess, nothing more I really really want atm, was already pushing it with some of these. Gonna take a few hours to download everything.

What/how's Bang! HD The Official Video Game? Went on sale, seems it was expensive for a card game. Presentation looks nice though.

Not actually that important
Just wanted to say that there's a reason the iOS GAF weekly challenge was put on hold.
I can't seem to be able to glitch the Game Center app anymore (so to only display profile's nicknames instead of real names) since updating to iOS5. I'll keep trying or I'll think of something to circumvent the problem (suggestions are welcomed), I don't really want to downgrade back to iOS 4.
Sorry if I haven't posted about it earlier, I was hoping to fix it in a matter of days and instead here we are.

I'll join after they fire whoever writes the script and character for these games.

9mm was trash, but fun for a bit of shooting (don't pay more than 99 cents). MC3 though is pretty much good all round.

Don't have a iphone, have a wp7 currently, but planning on possibly switching to an iphone when my contract is up. Saw this sale and picked up:
Shadowgun
Scribblenauts
Contre Jour
World of Goo
Also, got a bunch of good free games.

Bought shadowgun for 69p, while I want to support a dev I just knew it was going to hit this price at some point, waiting worked.
Feel sorry for anyone who bought it last month.

Diablohead said:
Don't. I've already finished twice so I easily got my $5 worth, and I'm not that poverty stricken to complain about a few bucks.
Also me buying it for full-price allows the dev to discount if for all your poor people, so instead of feeling sorry for me you should be thanking me.

How about just getting games that benefit from touch and motion controls? That's what I'm doing, for the most part. It's not like I'd prefer to play a point & click type game with an analog stick, lol. The same for racing games in my opnion, the iPad2 works like a fine wheel if you haven't already invested in a proper one for your other systems, nevermind the lack of things like analog trigggers and buttons, it's just more fun to play this way taking these drawbacks in account. Of course if you want platform games or whatever other conventional experience then it's best you get those on your other systems outside some iOS exclusive that is both good and cheap.
I need help please.
A friend has got a US account, and he wants to turn it into a Mexican account. He tried to do so, but the thing told him to spend all his credit before he could change the region. He tried to do so, but he was left with US$0.66, and now he can't change the region because there's some credit left, and he can't buy anything because the cheapest thing we've found are the US$0.99 games.
Thanks
EDIT: we found a phone number in the support website, called and explained the problem to a lady. She asked for the serial number, and after receiving it she said the warranty had expired and ended the call.

I have only played it on iPad, I think it would be not that bad because usually your troops and objectives are spread apart more than a finger's touch away but you might have to squint and even on iPad the sprites are pretty small. Gazunta really enjoys it too so there you go. It reminds me a little of Red Dwarf with the cheesy cut scenes, also reminds me of playing strategy games on 16-bit consoles.
Other topic:
I am kind of disappointed with Super Crossfire HD. The Xbox Indie Game versions controlled and looked better. The warp thing is awkward. It's maybe not bad for the sales price but honestly it goes to show that just because you release it to iOS it might not create a sales sensation unless you are lucky and/or the game is way better than anything else.
I already had a mountain of other games (and by games I mean Skyrim) to play but I still picked up Scribblenauts, Bumpy Road and Jelly Defense.
I'm considering Contre Jour, it kinda looks like chillingo looked at every popular game on iOS and rolled it into one game but is it any good? Or is it case of jack of all trades, master of none.

Need some game recommendations for my dad.
Been trying to get him to game for 15 years or so. My mom enjoys 2d mario games and mario kart. But my dad tends to be 'stubborn asian dad'. The only game I remember him enjoying was the pinball game that came with windows xp. But after he got my iphone 4, his interest in games has reached a new high.
His current favorites are pinball HD, some solitare game, and doodle jump. He surprisingly didn't like Angry birds
So any 'approachable' games you'd think would interest my dad?
